but no launchpad (and bazaar)?

These had slipped my mind when I was writing FORD. I will add them in the next feature release.

Thanks :-)

Editing my codes to use FORD at the moment. By the way is it possible to write out (some) LaTeX files as well?

[cmacmackin]

This feature has been requested before. In principle it is possible, but it would be a massive amount of work. I would need to rewrite all of the template files which I use for producing the HTML, find a way to translate markdown to LaTeX, and rewrite any of my routines which produce HTML when modifying the documentation. It is a long-term goal, but could take months to do and in the meantime I have other projects and other feature requests which need my attention.

@Dohle @cmacmackin Just a 0.02 cent hint: pandoc can convert almost everthing. FORD has a great html output, I never tried, but probably with few modifications of FORD CSS, pandoc could be able to produce good latex output. However, having also a markdown output directly from FORD is interesting for me.

Just looked at pandoc... but I think I would prefer the direct way (some things can be lost in translation).

I have default LaTeX classes and files (including page styles, numbers, logos etc). So my prefered idea is to produce the core LaTeX files only and include them in the main LaTeX files. LaTeX can take care of table of contents etc, as long as FORD writes out the lables and references...

I will have a look at the templates :- )
